After two years of R&D, I decided it’s now time to take La Distribution to the next level. I have thought about many options, and concluded the best way to achieve our mission was to create a strong company that would fully back La Distribution.

The core product commercialized by The Company will be AppSlots, a state of the art web application platform. AppSlots will offer a strong alternative to traditional web hosting providers, by focusing on web applications and only web applications, while bringing the best of the SAAS model.

The secondary mission of The Company will be to expand La Distribution application catalog. We will look for great applications where they are and do everything we can to make them available to our users. This means for example supporting new technology stacks when needed, or dealing with commercial providers as appropriate. We’ll also support the indie developer scene, and do our best to help amateurs and hobbyists code fun or useful applications integrated with La Distribution.

To achieve these goals, The Company will of course commit to further developments of La Distribution open source technologies. Outside contributions will be more than ever welcomed, and it will always be a pleasure for us to see more people and partners involved in La Distribution.

In the coming weeks, we’ll discuss with investors and strategic partners to setup a seed investment round. We’re not looking for billions, just enough money to build a solid corporate structure, hire key people and consolidate our investments in strategic areas.
